# GENUARY 2026
:(){:|: &};:
It’s 2026 and GENUARY emerges! GENUARY is an artificially generated month of time where we build code that makes beautiful things.
It’s happening during the month of January 2026, and everybody is invited!
Over the 744 hours of January, for every 24 hours there will be one prompt for your code art.
You don’t have to follow the prompt exactly. Or even at all. You can do all of them, or most of them. But, y’know, we put effort into this.
You can use any language, framework or medium. Feel free to use your own brain or a simulacrum of everybody else’s.
GENUARY happens on all the social media sites at once, including the one that your weird aunt/uncle uses (tell them I said hi). If you like, you can use hashtags to keep track of things: share your work and tag it with #genuary and #genuary2026 and also #genuary1, #genuary2, etc, depending on which prompt it is.
This makes it easier to find other people doing the same prompt, which might not always be on the same day, because some people are from the future.
We have curated the 31 absolute finest prompts for you personally. They have been radically scrutinized for ultimate creative purposes.
Click here for the prompts for each day. Also, here.
Cheating is encouraged. Feel free to implement all these prompts before January. We will be seriously impressed if you do! Please share them!
We also got a page with frequently asked questions!
Big thanks goes out to all these people for contributing to GENUARY and generally being awesome.
